Google’s Chromecast Wi-Fi dongle for streaming music, video and games to the television is expected to be available from Wednesday in the UK.

The Guardian understands that the Google media dongle will be available from Wednesday through high street consumer electronics retailers, although pricing is unknown.

Gadget site Android Police also published a leaked screenshot of an internal Dixons retail system announcing the launch of the Chromecast in the UK on Wednesday.

The Chromecast plugs directly into a television via the HDMI port and acts as a receiver for media sent from Android smartphones and tablet apps, Apple devices as well as computers via the Chrome browser.

The Chromecast was unveiled in the US in July last year for $35 (£21). It is expected to cost in the region of £30 in the UK and will likely be sold by traditional retailers as well as Google directly via its Play Store in the UK.
